Rep. Alcee Hastings (D) FL


Pelosi's "Culture of Corruption"
Hastings is one of the few federal judges ever to be impeached in the history of the U.S. Congress. After he was kicked off the federal bench, Hastings was elected to the U.S. House of Representatives as a Democrat from Florida, but his impeachment apparently taught him no lesson.
The South Florida Sun-Sentinel had this to say about Alcee: “Personal and political paybacks are the first order of business for Hastings.” That’s because Hastings put his girlfriend, a disgraced former lawyer who was disbarred by the Florida Supreme Court for “multiple offenses,” on the public payroll as his “office liaison and staff assistant.” According to the Sentinel, Hastings owed her “more than $500,000 in legal fees for representing him during his 1983 bribery trial and his 1989 impeachment hearings before Congress.” Hastings continues to employ her to this day.
